Deliverables
Complete a case analysis of lululemon, and submit a 1,500-2000 word report addressed to CEO Christine Day consisting of:
1. Recommendation that will enable both lululemon (LLL) and Christine Day to succeed in this next phase of their development
2. Analysis that includes
-Your business goal
-The business rationale why attention and resources must be invested to address that goal
-1 to 3 OB (organizational behavior) problems or opportunities that must be addressed to achieve your goal
-evidence that your recommendation will enable LLL and Christine Day to address the OB problems or opportunities and achieve your business goal
Tips to Consider
First, use the Organizing Framework to evaluate the situation. Then apply the 3-step method to decide which major business objective is most urgent for LLL and Christine Day to address. It may be helpful to identify the stakeholders, how important they are, how they perceive the problem or goal, and what factors might be influencing them.
Finally, use Balanced Scorecard frameworks to flesh out your recommendation and implementation plan.
Don’t forget to consider human factors at play, such as motivation, experience, self-interest, etc. Although we haven’t completed the Power & Politics Module yet, consider how power and politics might affect the viability of your recommendation.
Report Structure
Business writing is goal oriented and concise. In this assignment, your goal is to limit the information in the main body to what is essential for Christine to make a decision on your recommendation. Put relevant details, such as the complete analyses, detailed plans, etc., in the appendix, in case “Christine” wants more information.
With this in mind, you might consider following the outline below to structure your report. If you have experience writing business reports, no need to follow this structure as long as your content covers similar components.
1.Introduction:
-Report purpose, key recommendations, and expected results
-Brief descriiption of the problem or opportunity addressed
-Preview of the report structure
-Brief descriiption of criteria used, report limitations and any assumptions made
2. Body section:
-Brief explanation of why the problem or opportunity was selected supported by brief and brief and relevant information about the context to help us understand
-Recommendation 1
*What + expected results
*Why + supporting facts
*How
-Recommendation 2
